When Is Ablation Necessary?
I am scheduled for a Coronary CT scan tomorrow to assess the condition of my heart ahead of scheduling me for my first Cryo Ablation. All of my previous heart scans show no structural or functional issues. My question is: Since I haven't had a Afib episode for several months, have dropped 55 pounds,

Query over AF symptoms
Hi, just joined and while waiting to see GPs etc I was wondering if anyone can help. I get, what feels like to me, irregular heart rhythms but only very occasionally, like maybe 1 a month. It seems to come out of the blue and often in the evening, sometimes after exercise (fell running), sometimes not

TENS machine
Good afternoon, I was diagnosed with Intermittent AF in January last year. I had my first episode in January 2021 and was Cardioverted. This only lasted 3 weeks and then I had an episode lasting approx 4 weeks which reverted spontaneously. I have had none since. I am currently suffering from right knee

Fourth time a char?
Quick history- cardioversion to stop first event, cryoballoon ablation to stop subsequent ones. It lasted 4 years but with Afib episodes sporadically [despite beta blocker, dronedarone, Amiodarone (not all at the same time!)]. Two more rf ablations, three more cardioversions. No longer in Afib but in

AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker
Hi Everyone, I had an AV Node Ablation and Pacemaker implanted all on the same day last Thursday 1/20/22. I was in a situation where I was having many different heart rhythms, svt, atypical aflutter and afib. I have had two MAZE procedures which worked for a while but unfortunately staying in sinus

Best treatment for sudden ectopics?
Hello, fellow AF/ectopics sojourners! I'm in Kentucky, new to HealthUnlocked. Had occasional vagally-mediated AF episodes for 10 yrs, but since covid started 2 yrs ago, I think stress/anxiety upped my episodes to weekly, and recently, every 3 days. I just started daily 12.5 mg metoprolol (2 days

Is there a common cause of afib and aura?
I have for years wondered if there is a common electrophysiological cause of atrial fibrillation and migraine aura without headache. I understand that there is a strong co-incidence of the two conditions but it seems to me that there must be a common root cause of both. Any thoughts or experiences with

Pacemaker and Flecainide
Started having afib about 14 years ago. After a couple of cardioversions went in for ablation . Ended up having a second . for a very long time I would go in and out without any intervention. Recently started having episodes and had to be cardioverted, but after a few days went back into afib. My Dr

AFIB and Anxiety relief
I was diagnosed with Afib 3 years ago literally to the day and have found over the last few months that episodes have become more regular but sinus rhythmm is restored by using bisoprolol 2. The time it takes to restore NSR is directly correlated to my anxiety levels. . I used to take citalopram to

An update on this pain-in-the-bum condition
So 2018 Flutter, ablation fixed it but triggered fibrillation. Cardioversion fixed that for about 10 months then Flecainide from September 2019 until cryo-ablation in October 2021. Stopped the post abalation meds ten days ago. Sinus fine and ecg fine last week when my cardiologist saw me. I have developed

When should I go to A&E
I have been in PAF on and off for some years but the last 12 months I go a lot longer in AF and do not revert back without a Cardioversion. I have had a third ablation 5 weeks ago but for the last 3 1/2 weeks I have been back in AF. I am on list for cardioversion again and need to talk through my options

ICD implant and Cardiac CT scan
Could anyone tell me how urgent would an ICD implant procedure be and a Cardiac CT scan. I have now waited 4 months since seeing Consultant for these and I have waited 16 months for Angiogram.

I need advice about AFIB and travels
Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. I'm planning to go on holiday to Costa Rica next March but I'm not very confident because the trouble with fibrillation is that you don't know when it's coming on. My attacks are usually 8 months apart and next March it will be 8 months since my

Is this AFib?
Is this AFib? Background: 67 year old white male never smoked, never used drugs, reasonable weight, active and exercise routinely. Only medication is lowest dose of Rosuvastatin (Crestor) The only bad thing is I am a heavy caffeine drinker. (Coke) I've read the symptoms, and I do not have shortness
